Just a day or so ago, CoolMiniOrNot finished a highly successful Kickstarter for Arcadia Quest, a (some say Super Dungeon Explorer-inspired) Chibi-Dungeon Crawler with a PvP twist. Chibi is not my thing, admittedly. Now CMON reverse gear entirely in theme, and launched a website with a Starship Troopers / Space Hulk (?) / Sedition Wars […]
CoolMiniOrNot released a Teaser for their Fantasy Wargame Wrath of Kings. Wrath of Kings miniatures have been available at CMON’s webstore for ages. Likewise, the Wrath of Kings test-rules (link to pdf) have been out for a while. Now the Kickstarter is confirmed for August 2013. Judging by the fact that CMON’s already starting to build […]
CoolMiniOrNot’s English translation of the French miniature painting and hobby magazine Ravage is now available electronically, both on iTunes and on Amazon’s Kindle Store (United States only). #1 – CMON’s Ravage Gaming Magazine #2 – Thoughts? Ravage is a pretty cool hobby magazine, considering that the majority of the content is sponsored by various miniatures gaming […]
This weekend is the big weekend of wargaming conventions. In London, Salute 2013 saw Mantic Games pull the veil of their Warpath Deadzone offerings, which will hit Kickstarter on Friday. In Chicago, Adepticon is in full swing, and with it CoolMiniOrNot’s Crystal Brush painting competition. I was not able to attend either. Hopefully next year. […]
Warseer, Dakkadakka and other places are flush with rumours of a new Blood Bowl game from Games Workshop for 2013. It’s rumours, a given. Worse, it’s rumours I’ve heard before in 2011, when Games Workshop ended up doing DreadFleet. Still, there’s good reason to believe that these might be on to something. Take a look! #1 […]
The new Tau miniatures have been hogging most of the blogoshpere headlines the last few days. However, another hot item were rumours about Games Workshop’s new retailer policy. Early whispers had it (correctly) that GW was putting in place tighter regulations to clamp down on bitz-resellers (with a GW trade-account, not those cutting up GW-kits […]

Kaos Ball is/will be a miniatures sports game designed by Eric Lang. #1 – The CMON Press Announcement Read the full press-release here! Kaos Ball is a new kind of fantasy sports game, combining rugby-style passing finesse and first person shooter domination-style […]
Time to review the Ravage Miniatures Gaming Magazine. Or, more accurately, share my first impression. This is the first time I held and read this gaming magazine. The copy I have is the English language version released by CoolMiniOrNot.com. Specifically, I have issue #5 for December 2012 – January 2013 of this bi-monthly magazine. I […]
James Wappel! He paints like the devil, runs an awe-inspiring miniature-painting blog, and is about to launch a Kickstarter for a massive line of “learning-to-paint-miniatures”-DVDs. When I first heard of his Kickstarter plans, I knew I had to ask him a few questions. “Painting-Kickstarters”, so far, had a harder time than games and miniatures. If […]
A fascinating and unique game launches on Kickstarter soon is Rivet Wars; a World War I inspired board game with a distinct style. Ted Terranova – the creative behind Rivet Wars – was kind enough to talk to me about what inspires his game and miniatures, about Kickstarter, his partnership with CoolMiniOrNot, and his future plans for […]
